How it works

We clean with a robot, not a diver

Our underwater ROV carries cameras and precision brushes along your hull, cleaning as it goes and recording everything. Here's what that means in practice — what it does well, what its limits are, and why owners find it reassuring.

One pass. Clean hull. Full video record.

The ROV is lowered from the pontoon and travels along your hull under remote control. As it moves, the brushes clean and the onboard camera records. You don't need to be there — and nobody enters the water.

At the end of the job you have a clean hull and, if you've added the Hull Health Report, an annotated video summary of what was found. Coating condition, fouling coverage, anodes, anything worth flagging — all documented and sent to you the same day.

There's no staging, no diver preparation, and no guesswork about what was done. The footage speaks for itself.

What happens on the day

  • ROV deployed from the pontoon alongside your berth
  • Full hull pass — keel to waterline
  • Camera records throughout
  • Running gear cleaned where accessible
  • Debris capture approach used where feasible
  • Hull Health Report delivered same day (if selected)
  • You stay on board or ashore — no disruption

What the technology delivers

Six things the ROV does that a conventional diver can't match consistently.

🎥

Video documentation

The camera runs throughout. Every part of the hull is recorded, not just selected highlights. You see exactly what was cleaned and what the condition was beforehand.

🔧

Controlled pressure

Soft-bristle brushes with consistent, operator-controlled pressure. No variation between jobs — the ROV applies the same approach every time, which matters for antifouling coatings.

🛡️

No human risk

Nobody enters the water. No diver safety considerations, no insurance complications, no weather windows driven by diving conditions. Simpler for everyone.

Fast to deploy

Setup is quick. Most cleans are completed well within two hours from arrival. No equipment staging, no diver briefings, no decompression stops.

🌿

Electric-powered

Battery-operated with zero in-water emissions. No hydraulic fluid, no fuel, no noise underwater. We operate within marina working windows and environmental requirements.

📋

Documented condition

The Hull Health Report gives you a clear record of coating condition, fouling coverage, and anything worth watching. Useful for maintenance planning and for sharing with your yard.

Environmental handling

What we do, what we follow, and what we don't claim.

What we do

  • Follow marina requirements and working windows
  • Use a debris capture approach where feasible
  • Handle collected material responsibly per local guidance
  • No chemical cleaning in the water
  • Electric-powered operation — zero in-water emissions

What we're compliant with

  • Insured service — cover details available on request
  • Method statement available for marinas and owners
  • Marina-specific requirements confirmed before arrival
  • Debris handling in line with local guidance
  • Coating-safe statement confirmed before work begins

What we don't claim

Debris capture effectiveness varies by fouling level, marina access, and conditions. We don't promise universal outcomes. If your coating is fragile or compromised, we'll tell you before we start and recommend the best next step — which may not be us. We'd rather be honest about that upfront.
